This year's Margaret Hendry Lecture will focus on the themes of urban design, climate change, women in leadership and safe cities, and will take inspiration from the quote by Gustav Speth:
‘I used to think the top environmental global problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and climate change, I thought with 30 years of good science we could address those problems. I was wrong.
The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed and apathy – and to deal with these we need a spiritual and cultural transformation and we scientists do not know how to do that. “
Drinks will be held from 5:30-6:30pm with the presentations by our four speakers running from 6:30-8:30pm.
The venue is the Shine Dome, which was built in 1958 and was the first Canberra building to be placed on the National Heritage List.
Thank you to ACT Partners Glascott, iGuzzini and Sika Australia for their support of this event.
